Cashing Cotton Market.
There has been some misap-
prehension as to the efforts of
Cushing ootton buyers to pay the
price that will bring the product
to this market. It has even been
said that the pri.^e paid was low-
er than other towns around, but
this was entirely disapproved to-
day when telephone communi-
cation with all neighboring towns
showed only one with a higher
prioe, and that only 10 cents,
while many were lower, Yale
among them at 25 cents less than
Cushing.
We have investigated this
matter thoroughly and can say
positively to the cotton raiser
that Cushing will buy your oot-
ton at the very highest price the
market affords at all times, give
you full weight and treat you
right.
Will Build the Bridge-
Wednesday the Payne county
Board of Commissioners let the
contract for the construction of
an $18000 suspension bridge to
span the Cimarron rivet at a
point directly north of Cushing,
or to be more specific at the
Frank Harris ford. This has been
a long sought publio improve-
ment, one needed since the settle-
ment of the oountry and one
which will be greatly appreciated
by a large scope of country and
used by a continual flow of pub-
lio traffic.
Public Speaking.
For the Cushing reunion the
committee can promise a galaxy
of public speakers of unusual
prominence and brilliancy.
Among them we hope to have
present Hon. J. W. McNeal and
Hon. Bird S. McGuire for the re
publicans and men of equal intr
portance in the democratic party.
